Curious Relics of a Pre-Historic Ag~
AT the White Plains salt works on tho
line of the Central Pacific railroad,
beyond Wadsworth, in sinking large pits
or wells many fish, perfectly preserved,
have been found in the strata Of rock salt
cut through. The salt field occupies
what was once the bottom of a large
lake. The fish found are of the pike or
pickerel species, and from twelve to six
teen inches in length. No such fish are
now seen in any of our Nevada lakes.
The specimens are not petrified, but are
preserved in perfect form, flesh and all,
as though they had been frozen up in
cakes of ice. The salt works are located
near the center of basin in which was
once a lake thirty niles long, by from
twelve to fifteen miles in width, and over
800 feet deep in places, as is shown by
the ancient water lines on the bordering
hills The fish found imbedded in the
layers Of rock salt are doubtless thou
sands of years old. After being exposed
to the sun and air for a day or two thew
